8 KEY FINDINGS
9 The fight against trafficking has really only just started
10 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
11 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
12 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol in a remarkably short space of time, tremendous progress has been made in combating a crime that was only recently widely acknowledged (Report p.8)
13 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol Percentage of countries that have introduced a specific offence on trafficking in persons into their legislation (N:155) 100% 90% 80% 28% 20% 70% 65% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 80% 72% 35% Nov-08 Doubling of countries with TIP legislation Specific offence of trafficking in persons No specific offence Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
14 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol SUMMARY: GLOBAL BASELINE ON LEGISLATION Before 2003, only 35% of the countries* had TIP legislation. 65% did not. As of November 2008, 80% of the countries* had TIP legislation and 20% did not. 54% of countries have established anti-tip police units * 155 countries and territories covered by this report
15 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol NATIONAL LAW: Trafficking as a specific offence (Nov 2008) Cover most/all forms: Countries where the specific offence of trafficking in persons is in force, criminalizing at a minimum sexual exploitation and forced labour, with no restrictions concerning the profile of the victim. Partial: Countries where the specific offence of trafficking in persons is in force, but legislation does not criminalize all or most forms listed in Article 3 of the UN Trafficking Protocol or does not define trafficking in persons. No specific offence: Countries where forms of trafficking in persons are criminalized through other offences due to the absence of a specific trafficking in persons offence.
16 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol EAST ASIAN / PACIFIC NATIONAL LAWS: Trafficking a specific offence (Status: Nov 2008)
17 Finding 1: The push of the UN Protocol EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 23 of the 27 countries in Asia / Pacific region have adopted specific laws on TIP. Between , 8 East Asian and 2 Pacific countries introduced new antitrafficking laws or modified old ones. This makes most of the legislation in the region relatively recent though focusing heavily on sexual exploitation.
18 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
19 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive In many countries, the number of convictions is increasing. But not in proportion to the growing awareness (and probably size) of the problem. Most convictions occur in a very few countries. To date, 2 out of 5 countries have never recorded a single conviction. Thus a large area of impunity remains.
20 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive Trends in the number of recorded convictions, % of countries (N:134) Stable or not clear trend, 71% Increasing trend, 21% Decreasing trend, 8% Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
21 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive IMPUNITY Distribution of all countries according to the number of convictions recorded for the specific offence of trafficking in persons during the reporting period (N:155) No convictions and offence in force 19% One to ten convictions per year 17% No convictions because no offence 22% At least 10 convictions per year 29% Data not available 14% Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
22 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive VICTIMS DETECTED Total number of victims identified by State authorities in 71 selected countries TREND: The capacity to detect victims has increased (+27% victims detected globally) Number of victims officially identified 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 11,706 12,122 13,127 14, Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
23 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive TRENDS: East Asia and the Pacific East Asia was rich in criminal justice statistics for the reporting period. By contrast, a very limited number of cases were detected in the Pacific area. Trends indicate an increase in the number of trafficking cases in Cambodia, Indonesia, Mongolia, Timor-Leste, Thailand and Viet Nam. Somewhat stable to decreasing trends elsewhere in region. Higher than average criminal proceedings in Mekong countries.
24 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive TRENDS: Mongolia Persons investigated for the offence of sale or acquisition of humans in Mongolia ( ) Source: State Investigation Department, Mongolia
25 Finding 2: Convictions increasing but impunity massive TRENDS: Japan Persons arrested for trafficking in persons and related offences in Japan, by gender ( ) Women, Total, Total, 41 Total, 58 Men, Source: National Police Agency
26 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
27 Finding 3: Sexual exploitation deemed most common Profile of victims identified by State authorities (Countries reporting: 2003=44, 2004=56, 2005=76, 2006=61) 100% 3% 3% 5% 9% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 16% 13% 11% 10% 71% 74% 14% 12% 16% 13% 66% 67% The profile of the victims: gender 20% 10% 0% Women Girls Men Boys Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
28 Finding 3: Sexual exploitation deemed most common Distribution of victims identified by State authorities according to the form of exploitation (N:52 in 2006) Sexual Exploitation 79% Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT Forced Labour 18% Other forms 3% TRENDS 1. Sexual exploitation was the most commonly identified form of human trafficking. 2. TIP for forced labour (generally men/boys) is likely under-detected. 3. Reasons: (a) FL laws more recent (b) police perspective (c) less visible than, e.g., prostitution.
29 Finding 3: Sexual exploitation deemed most common TRENDS: East Asia and the Pacific 1. Women and girls trafficked for sexual exploitation were the primary victims (during most countries only had legislation on TIP for sexual exploitation). 2. Trafficking in minors was a significant issue in South East Asia. During the reporting period child trafficking rose in all East Asia.

31 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
32 Finding 4: Offenders female numbers disproportionate Ratio of females convicted for trafficking in persons and for all offences in selected countries 60% 53% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 18% 12% 21% 22% 23% 23% 18% 13% 9% 8% 26% 14% 28% 13% 30% 32% 9% 10% 9% 0% Netherlands Germany Slovakia Romania Portugal Hungary Czech Republic Cyprus France Latvia TIP-Average all crimes -average
33 Finding 4: Offenders female numbers disproportionate SUMMARY: Global baseline data on trafficking in persons patterns Females more commonly appear as offenders in human trafficking statistics than for other forms of crime One possible conclusion: need to analyse the trafficking roles of those prosecuted as well as those who escape prosecution (not only end-exploiters, but also those in the higher echelons parts of trafficking hierarchies. Very significant in East Asia / Pacific (Report p. 46)
34 5. Most offenders are citizens of the country where they were arrested. KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 1. The push of the Protocol: the number of countries implementing laws has doubled. 2. Convictions are increasing. But impunity is immense. 3. Sexual exploitation is the most commonly-identified form of human trafficking. 4. A disproportionate number of women are offenders.
35 Finding 5: Most offenders = citizens where arrested Offender profile: Nationality Generally offenders were citizens of the countries where they were arrested. This suggests that local criminal networks acquire the victims and sell them to criminal networks based in destination countries. (Report p 10)
36 Finding 5: Most offenders = citizens where arrested Long distance from EAST ASIA: Countries where East Asian victims were detected outside East Asia and the Pacific ( ) TRANS-REGIONAL TRAFFICKING Most remarkably, victims from East Asia were detected in more than 20 countries in regions throughout the world (Report p.11) Source: UNODC/UN.GIFT
37 Finding 5: Most offenders = citizens where arrested THAI VICTIMS TRAFFICKED ABROAD as identified by State authorities by area of repatriation ( ) East Asia, 253 Middle East, 212 Southern Africa, 89 Source: Bureau of Anti-Trafficking in Women and Children Europe, 43 Pacific, 16 South Asia, 15 Other, 5 Diagram shows: Of those victims trafficked out of Thailand, which parts of the globe were they identified?
38 WHAT NEXT?
39 WHAT NEXT? => ANALYSIS 1. The findings open up new questions / issues a) Still unknown: How big is the human trafficking problem globally? b) Why so many women among offenders? c) Why do so many CJ systems not use TIP laws to prosecute? d) Reliability of the data need for constant improvement e) Good guys versus bad guys report offers no ranking intention is not to compare countries all countries can improve performance 2. A knowledge crisis remains We re still fighting the problem blindfolded a) Need for standard definitions as per The 2000 Protocol
40 WHAT NEXT? => ACTION 1. Having laws is not enough 2. Need for more convictions (Note: risk of inaccurate targeting go beyond quantitative measures) 3. Need for greater focus on forced labour 4. What do we do about it? => UNODC s efforts ASEAN Charter COMMIT Process BALI Process CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESPONSE: To date, 2 out of 5 countries have never recorded a single conviction.
41 Consequences of global financial meltdown? Factories close Services end CONSEQUENCES: Unemployment Significant increase in exploitation 1. Traffickers / smugglers take advantage of this desperation 2. Employers squeeze workers to perform more work for less pay 3. Workers tolerate abuse for fear of losing jobs 4. Parents pull children from school to migrate and work People desperate for work
